📍 Local construction update

Meadowbrook Area street reconstruction + sewer & water expansion north

What's happening in Blaine right now

Blaine has multiple active projects. The 2026 Meadowbrook Area Street Reconstruction Project is underway, the city is running its 2026 Street Rehabilitation Project ($2M in repaving with about $108K in special assessments to nearby owners), and city sewer and water are being extended north on Lexington Avenue to open up northeast Blaine for development. The 105th Redevelopment District around the National Sports Center has utilities going in for a new roundabout.

What this means for your drains

Meadowbrook homeowners: full street reconstruction usually means the city portion of your sewer gets replaced, but the lateral from your house to the street stays — and that connection point is where roots find their way in through the old clay-to-new-PVC transition. On Lexington Avenue and the north-end expansion zones, older homes suddenly on the boundary of new development often see increased vibration and settlement.

Two things worth doing:

  • Camera inspection before winter — see exactly what your lateral looks like, especially the connection to the city main
  • Preventive main-line jetting if your line is 40+ years old and you've had even one backup in the last 2 years

Call 612-382-7397 or book a camera inspection. We work Blaine year-round.
